So I have had issues in the past couple weeks when trying to complete my NPC friend’s mission. I am currently using 10262, and don’t know what version it was a couple of weeks ago, but it was the most recent.
So I get given the mission. 1- The mission to get data from a PC and put it on a USB, and now 2 - the mission to kill a Jabberwock.
I do other things for a few days, survive, scavenge. During which I tell the NPC to guard a position, somewhere safe. A couple times I talk to him to get some training. Initially, I get the “have you done it yet?” message when I interrupt his guarding for training. The mission is still active. At some point he stops asking. The mission is still active. Eventually I get my things together and do the task, the PC and USB work/ the jabberwock is present and I kill it. The mission is still active, but the map marker does not indicate that I should return to my NPC. I return to him and talk to him. No prompt to complete, the “have you done it yet?” message is still no longer showing on starting talking to him. If I ask about tasks he offers a new job, one even said “you did that other job great, so how about this new one”. The mission is still active, I seem to have no way to finish it.
I tested the mission for antibiotics, by debug cheating the item in and giving them it, which works.
I tested the mission for jabberwock by debug cheating, works fine, NPC asks if it’s done then says thanks.
I can use debug to remove the broken mission, but that just removes it from my list, the NPC does not notice.
It seems like either the in-game week I let pass breaks something OR the ‘guard stay here/teach me something’ routine breaks something.
